Dr. Warren H. Carroll, a
leading Catholic historian, author of the masterful six-volume
A
History of Christendom and eight other books, died
on July 17, 2011. Dr. Carroll was the founder of
Christendom College in Front Royal, Virginia. As
an alumnus of Christendom College, I can say that having
had Dr. Carroll as a professor of history many years ago
was both an honor and a privilege. He will be remembered
fondly as a great man and a loyal soldier of Christ.

According to
Christendom's College's press release
on the passing of their founder, Carroll's lasting
legacy speaks volumes about his life and dedication to
the Catholic cause: He "leaves behind his wife Anne, and
his adopted children and grandchildren – the 2640 alumni
of Christendom College, which included 300
alumna-to-alumnus marriages (with 1000s of children), 63
priests, and 43 religious sisters and brothers."
